What is the advantage of taking the Master of Applied Finance program if I intend getting PRM Certification?
The high degree of overlap between the content of some of the MAF program units and the PRM make it suitable preparation for those taking the PRM exams. The Master of Applied Finance is a post-graduate degree program which goes well beyond test preparation and is well-recognised by potential employers. Graduates are expected to gain a much broader and deeper understanding of risk management concepts than is necessary for professional certification. Classes are taught by full-time and adjunct faculty who combine high level academic training and many years practical experience in industry. Classroom-based, face to face teaching provides the benefits of peer interaction, the opportunity to ask questions and increased motivation to study. As well as these benefits, the regular assessment tasks undertaken by students in the MAF program provide a means by which those studying for the PRM qualification can gauge their level of preparedness.
